My pool used to run consistently on the acidic end of the pH scale -- 7.2 to 7.4. I was using the trichlor hockey pucks for chlorine.
I switched to liquid chlorine a little over a year ago to reduce the CYA levels (it worked).
However, now the pool runs consistently basic, around 7.8. I periodically add muriatic acid to bring that down, but it keeps going up.
Nothing else in my pool care methods have changed. Is it the chlorine? Is there a better way to balance the pH than what I'm doing?
